Spare Shadows (pt. 1)

(Slow Burn Type Story)

Mako x Reader

Pt2 Masterlist

Summary: Darkness is hovering over the city. Dae is one of many struggling to survive in the city without any control. Police have exhausted all efforts to save the city. The Avatar saves Dae after being captured by Bolin and Mako. Dae, a master swordswoman, then follows the group to save her spirit friends in the city.

(No warnings, I'm attempting at a storyline that would fit into Korra. If you can watch korra, you can handle this, so rated what the show I'd rated.)

Tenzin stopped in front of Korra's door. He knocked quickly. "Korra. We need to discuss some things going on in Republic City."

"I'm not here!" Korra yelled out. She already knew what was going on. Mako and Bolin had already told her about the horror in the streets.

"Korra! This is bigger than what you think it is. You need to hear this. Jinora has heard the spirits talking about the things going on in the city." Tenzin visited his daughter this morning he had informed her of a rising problem over the surrounding area of the new portal.

Korra slammed the door open. "You think I haven't heard them too. I know I was meditating this morning like you told me too, then this spirit comes to tell me that darkness is taking over spirits, but I don't know what's causing it." She walked out, leaving Tenzin behind her.

"Korra, please calm down. We can figure this out. We need to stop and think rationally about what's going on in the city." Tenzin followed her out to the courtyard.

"Don't tell me to calm down! I know there is something dangerous out there. People are trashing the streets, gangs are flooding with new members, cars are blowing up, and the people have started doing anything they can think of to destroy the town. There are spirits out there terrorizing citizens." Korra had lost her temper. Everything around the city was being demolished by the very citizens who lived there. Mako and Bolin have become overwhelmed trying to fight the crime.

"Korra, this has to be connected somehow." Jinora stepped into the courtyard. "Some of the spirits from the northpole have told me the spirits near the new portal have become infected with dark energy." She stepped beside her father.

"I know it's connected. The spirits get their energy from their surroundings. The people in the city have become barbaric. If they stop, the spirits stop." Korra had calmed into a slightly calmer tone, but the rage was still apparent.

"How do we get the people to follow rules and become better citizens?" Jinora asked.

"I don't know. The jails are full. We could make a bigger jail." Korra suggested she placed her hand on her chin. She chewed her lip thinking.

"I don't think that's going to work..." Asami trailed as she approached. Her ship had docked both Mako and Bolin were at her side they had both helped her stay stable.

"Asami!" Korra ran to her side. Asami's clothes were tattered up. She had scratches on her body.

Korra took her into her arms, carrying her. "We have to get you to the healers room."

The group followed as Asami was placed into the water. "What happened?" Tenzin asked the brothers.

"Her warehouse was attacked. A group tried to rob it." Mako spoke simply.

"They busted in and just started taking stuff. There were so many of them. It's getting worse. The crime was just at night, but now it's all day and night, and they are just getting bigger, badder, and scarier, " Bolin exclaimed, throwing his arms out dramatically.

"We caught one of the criminals. She is locked up in the ship's cell room." Mako finished for his brother.

"Do you know who she's working for?" Jinora asked.

"It's not Shady Shin. The woman was just screaming about wanting him dead in a jumbly voice." Mako crossed his arms."I tried asking her, but she-"

"She was acting like a caged animal. She was screaming and barking like a dogbat." Bolin dramatically interrupted.

"Take me to her. Jinora, stay here with Asami and Korra-"

"No, dad. You know what this sounds like. You know that I can help." Jinora stood her ground against the protective father.

"But Jinora, it's not safe." Tenzin said quickly.

"I'm actually with your dad on this one, Jinora. This woman is dangerous, and we dont know who she is or what she is capable of. You are the best spirit guide here. We can't risk anything." Mako agreed. Bolin shook his head, too.

"I will call you down if we need your help, okay? Stay with korra and Asami. Just listen out for us." Tenzin followed the men.

"Okay." She said and stayed with the pair.

Mako and Bolin led Tenzin to the ship. "Has she used any bending?" Tenzin asked.

"She hasn't since we've seen her. We are assuming she is a non-bender. She looks like she is in her twenties. She won't say her name or anything about her life." Mako stepped onto the ship. "She's in here."

The trio stepped inside to see the cell with the girl hunched over. Snarls and low growls sounded through the room as they got closer. The girl looked up, seeing them enter the room. She ran towards the bars, grabbing them she shook her arms unnaturally hard, trying to get out.

"What do you think it is?" Bolin turned to Tenzin for wisdom.

"This certainly isn't just a normal criminal empire." Tenzin put his fingers to his chin. He stepped out from the room back to the deck. "Yes, It's connected to the spirits. That's not the woman in that cell. A dark spirit has taken control of her. Boys, you're fighting a losing battle. This is bigger than our world alone."

"Dark Spirits! What do we do for that? They're taking over the city." Bolin gasped horrified.

"We are going to have to see how we can get the spirit to come out of the woman in that cell. If we can deal with one, then we can find a way to deal with the rest." Tenzin led the boys off the ship.

"What are we going to do about the woman? We can't leave her in there, " Bolin asked.

"I'm not going in there. We need some backup before we deal with her. I need some time to talk with Jinora. Once we get the woman restrained or the spirit changes, then we will have her take a look." Tenzin and the brothers walked into the healing room. "The woman is possessed by a dark spirit."

Korra let the water fall from Asami's wounds. "That makes sense. The group didn't seem human. They were acting weird. It started out where crime was normal and just a few were acting strange but then the number of them started growing...fast." Asami spoke up, feeling much better after Korra healed her wounds they were all surface level, easily healed.

Jinora's hand fell to hip while the other rubbed her neck. She was lost in thought for a moment. "If they are possessing the people, then there has to be a reason. Spirits wouldn't just go to all that trouble for nothing."

"I know spirits will react to emotions in the spirit world," korra added.

"Yes, but here it's different. They don't react to just emotions. There had to be something that made them upset." Jinora said.

"Well, she seemed to be really mad at the mention of Shady Shin." Bolin thought outloud. "You should have seen her. she went wild."

Mako's eyes widened. "That's it. Shady Shin was planning something with the spirit world. Crime shot up in the area around the portal."

"So that made them upset, and they started taking over bodies to destroy the city like the humans that must have been destroying the spirit world." Korra finished.

Tenzin placed a hand on his daughter's shoulder. "Jinora, we need to get that spirit out of her. You'd be able to talk to the spirit when it comes out of her, right?"

"Yeah, the spirit might know what's going on, but korra, you have to calm the spirit before we release it, or it will possess someone else." Jinora nodded towards korra.

"Calm the spirit. I can handle that." Korra stood and helped Asami up.

The group was led to the cell the woman was being held in. Jinora was instructed to stay back because her connection to the spirit was so strong. They couldn't risk her getting possessed.

"Well, I bet she is great at parties." Korra eyed the woman behind the cell.

"Maybe a rage room..." Asami spoke under her breath.

Korra's eyes set onto the woman. She used her hands to begin slowly bending the spirit. It was like the spirit was being rocked and held. The comfort led the spirit closer to the light. She shifted the energy around the woman. The woman calmed down from her position on the bars. She landed on her feet, then fell to her knees. The spirit slowly exited her body. Her back finally collapsed onto the floor as the spirit calmly hovered over her.

Jinora left her hiding place and slowly approached the spirit. Korra stepped to the side, not leaving the defense of Jinora.

Jinora whispered to the spirit. The spirit spoke softly back to her in a sweet tone. The spirit was so much better behaved than before. She dismissed the spirit, helping it back to the spirit world.

"The spirit said that there was a lot going on. She didn't know much, but there was a grave darkness taking over around the city Portal. Shady Shin has made a lot of spirits angry. She is very sorry for what she has done. There are a lot more out there and many more coming. It will infest the spirit world and will eventually hit the other portals, and the entire spirit world will darken, then the world will then become dark."

"Great, so we still don't know any possible way to stop it, and the world will parish if we don't stop it. Perfect." Korra rolled her eyes.

"That's not true. We know that we have to calm the spirit to get them out of people's bodies." Tenzin spoke up.

"Yes, but I can't bend spirit on that scale. There's too many of them." Korra added, crossing her arms over her chest.

"One problem at a time..." Asami kneeled down in front of the woman. "What are we going to do for her?"

Korra's eyes softened as her girlfriend picked the woman up in her arms. Korra helped Asami lift and carry the limp woman up to the healing room. The others stayed outside in the courtyard.

"Jinora, is there anything you know about waking her up?" Asami asked, calling her in the room.

"She needs some rest. Healing with water will help, but her mind needs rest so she can come back. Her spirit was cast to the side to give room for the dark spirit. Some people come back quickly, and others take time to wake up."

"Thank you, Jinora. Asami, do you mind if I take some time alone to heal her. I need to think about what we are going to do." The two nodded. Asami kissed korra softly before walking out to the courtyard.

This has been rattling round in my head for the last week or so, and so here it is. A Steddie/Spaced AU that no one asked for and will appeal to a pretty niche market in general (Although, Tim Bisley would fucking love Stranger Things)

Ok, you were born in Kentucky on 17 September 1974 and live with your Uncle, Wayne Munson

Right

You keep an eye on the girl over the road from you, who once attempted to share your Heavy Metal magazine collection with her middle school friends. In your attempt to prevent her, you tripped over your own feet, fell down the stairs of your trailer, hitting your head, which is where you got your scar

Yup

Uhm, You have a best friend, Chrissy, who is a Sports Promoter

Uhh Yeah sort of

You have a fatal allergy to pecan nuts

Yes, I have no memory of Thanksgiving 1980. Mind you, I’ve got no memory of Thanksgiving 1994 either

Oh? Why not?

I don’t know

Right…. You are an aspiring metal guitarist and your band is called

Corroded Coffin

Corroded Coffin, yeah. Your work to date includes playing a party for your drummers, sister’s boyfriend’s birthday. You supplement the $40 you got from that by working part time at a book store called “All That Glitters

Yeah, I’m the assistant manager

Oh, how many people work for you

Oh, it’s just me and Jeff

Who’s Jeff?

He’s the manager

Hang on, you’re not one of those fantasy nerds, are you?

No?

You don’t spend your evening on the internet discussing allegory and Lord of the Rings?

Look, fantasy writers allow us to explore the full extent of the human condition. Fantasy novels are more closely aligned with the desires of humans than ever before and exploring that is for the betterment of all mankind

Right… Your preferred mode of transport is your van. You like music, dungeons and dragons and regularly masturbate over images of Harrison Ford

Who told you that?!

It was a joke!

Yeah well People Magazine voted him the sexiest man alive in 1998

And what about you?

I wasn't placed

You recently split up with your boyfriend who got off with a friend of yours called Jason

He’s NOT my friend

Alright, well, we don’t need to talk about that. I mean, we can, if you want, because it obviously hit you hard.

You prefer a loose cotton boxer as opposed to a brief

Is all this really necessary

Well yes! What if we are asked a number of intimate personal questions? We’re supposed to be a couple! Come on, do me

Okaay, You were born in Hawkins Indiana in 1975 to Benjamin and Emily Harrington. You have a sort of brother-friend thing going with a teenager called Dustin

Yeah

You attend an Ivy League School

Ivy Tech College

Whatever

It’s a community college, which is fine. It’s better actually, gives me some more freedom. Did you know Oprah went to community college? Anyway, it’s not where you go to school, it’s the experience that counts, ok?

Alright… You have an on off thing with a girl, Nancy, who is at university in Beardstown

Boston

Oops! Boston. But we are not going to mention her. You want to be a teacher, but you haven’t thought that all the way through, and your best friend is called Robin and she works in Film

Uh something like that

You have an extensive hair care routine. You are scared of dogs and bats, but oh so much greater is your fear that one day the two species will cross breed, forming an all powerful race of DogBats who will immobilise human beings in a giant vine based hive mind in order to eat cats.

I never said that….

Yeah, but it’d be good though

...I dunno

Alright! That’s it!!

Oh, by the way, my name’s Steve

Oh, right, I’m Eddie. Hi.

#Steddie #Stranger Things Fic #Spaced AU #Stranger Things #In the words of a good friend “Is this anything?”#I think I'm funny at least #steve harrington #eddie munson
